Detection

PerDC 21
StlDC 21 (or +0 if the tree's presence is obvious)
Init+12

The tree stands 40 feet tall, its twisted limbs ending in needle-sharp thorns. The ground around it is spongy with decay and lacks any normal swamp vegetation.

Standard Engagement

Trigger

A creature attempts to harvest wood from the tree or deals damage to its trunk.

Routine

None

Reset

The tree heals its wounds with thick sap. A new limb can be harvested 24 hours after a successful harvesting.

Arborescent Lashing

The tree lashes out with blood-slicked branches. It makes a melee strike against the triggering creature (and the 'harvester' if they are different). Attack +14 melee; Damage 2d10+7 slashing plus 1d6 persistent bleed damage.

Blight Surge

When the tree is first damaged or its wood is harvested, it releases a burst of toxic pollen and hungry vines in a 15-foot emanation. Each creature in the area must succeed at a DC 21 Fortitude save or become Sickened 1 and Immobilized (DC 20 Athletics to Escape).

Siphon Blood

If a creature is bleeding within 10 feet of the tree at the start of its turn, the tree absorbs the spilled blood and restores 5 Hit Points.

The Perfect Bolt

Wood harvested from the tree while it is still 'alive' can be crafted into +1 striking bolts that deal an additional 1d4 negative damage to living creatures.

Description

A massive, gnarled tree with bark like charred obsidian and leaves that drip a thick, blood-like sap. The roots appear to be clutching the skeletal remains of past victims.

Discovery

DC 21 Perception (trained) to notice that the 'moss' hanging from the tree is actually twitching vine-blights waiting to drop, or DC 19 Nature to identify the tree as a Gulthias sapling.

Archival Lore

Legend says Gulthias trees sprout from the heart of a vampire staked with a wooden peg. They possess a hateful sentience and hunger for the blood of those who dare approach.
